Help save Nicky’s Life - Support Her Cancer Treatment

Nicky (along with her beloved dog, Merlin) is the Founder and Ambassador of our not-for-profit, Dorset Dogs CIC, and Merlin’s Pet Food Banks.

In February 2025, after more than a year of pain and several misdiagnoses, Nicky was given the news: she has Stage 3 lung cancer. She is a non-smoker and her cancer is extremely rare — a form called NSCLC squamous with an EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation.

We are now urgently raising £80,000 to fund the private treatment Nicky desperately needs to survive. She wants to continue to serve our animals and humans in the community she created. The NHS does not currently fund the curative treatment needed and Nicky is running out of time.

Welcome to Dorset Dogs CIC

“This dog community is how the world should be..... compassionate, supportive, generous and informative” Sarah McEnnerney-Stevens

Our goal is to raise awareness of just how extraordinary the relationship between humans and dogs can be and the life changing affects it can have to both sides. Dogs help us humans with our mental, emotional and physical health. Dogs’ don’t have a voice and we want to support their wellbeing within the community. Making Dorset as dog friendly as possible.

This is your ‘directory of dog’.
